#DecemberDiceDiary2023 Day 29!
"Describe your most memorable critical success or failure!"
With a new group as the DM, one of the players managed to crit on trying to throw a severed zombie arm at another zombie. This lead to the arm going through the other zombies eye, destroying the brain and creature.
It was one of the first times they just tried something beyond "I use my dagger" and it worked out wonderfully. The players still remember it today.

"What tips do you have for new players or DMs?"
Honestly, communication is more crucial than anything in #ttrpg settings. Everyone is making themselves a little vulnerable by stepping into this silly space and acting out something. Not only that, but there will be emotional attachments.
If there is any issue at all be it as a player or DM, talking about it openly and honestly is the most important thing in my opinion.

"Share a heartwarming in-game story from your adventures!"
It went from heart wrenching to heart warming. A former soldier artificer accidentially killed a little critter friend of the party. It could be saved, but they were deeply shook. An NPC they had saved took the time to reassure them and reaffirm them, appealing to their sense of duty and discipline, while showing empathy.

"What's a house rule you think others might like, too?"
My tables recently adapted a "Majority presence means we play" rule. Any character or player that cannot make it during such a session, will either be assumed present (if there's no reasonable explanation why they wouldn't be).
This has greatly increased the frequency of our #ttrpg sessions. Of course, we do still skip sometimes, but far less often than before.
